Answer:

In most cases for children with ITP, it tends to resolve itself within time. So, the initial treatment option would be to prescribe a steroid type medication, as in Glucocorticoids (such as prednisone) and then allow time to pass to see if the symptoms persist. A follow-up appointment will be placed to then determine if the child has had any other symptoms or if the initial symptoms still persist. Thus, surgery or blood transfusions may need to be done if it reaches a certain point.
